While the gap between what is an "r compound" and "street tire" is narrower than ever, the new AD08R will be considered a street tire and the direct replacement for the AD08.
Its competitors are the Bridgestone RE-11A, Dunlop Direzza ZII, BFG Rival, Hankook RS3, and Kumho XS (soon Kumho will have an Ecsta V720 to replace the XS).
It will likely have a 200 treadwear rating when it comes stateside so that it qualifies for the new SCCA street tire class rules.
